So I’ve managed to mess up my knee pretty badly. Chondromalacia, or Runner’s Knee, was today’s diagnosis. The excruciating pain, complete inability to walk and two weeks of prescribed, strict bed rest, I can handle. But when the doctor told me I’d likely have to give up running, permanently, I was reduced to tears in the emergency room.
I know I’m probably a lot better off than most of the patients in that hospital today, but I can’t help feeling completely and utterly crushed.
Really sad news from one of our members. I’m so sorry, Jessica. The club’s sending good thoughts your way.
